What is New

Since my last post on my birthday I have realized a few things.
1.) I don't know how to be the girl on fire I want to be, it really isn't my true nature.
2.) I do want to learn to be a girl on fire.

I recently joined a women's huddle at my church and I am in Love.  I don't think I have ever been in a women's group in my "church" life. excited for tomorrow nights meeting.

And my biggest news is I am a mommy  A chicken mommy  YEP. Chickens. It was my plan for awhile, but I didn't know if it would really come to fruition. I have 4 chicks in my bedroom closet as I type. SO WEIRD.  but we are enjoying them a bunch. They will be 2 weeks old tomorrow.

Here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure

Maybe, I am back

It has been such a long, long time blog. I miss you. I have begun to make a blog book and it really made me miss the outlet. I was so wonderful to see where I was so many years ago, as a mom, as a wife, and a follower of Jesus. I think I have taken a few steps back in many areas of my life, and many steps forward as well. Today I am 32. Holy Moly. Today I was deep in thought as I shopped, I took a vacation day and I did what I wanted to do today=) I got my free birthday coffee at Caribou, I got some new underwear at Target (exciting, I know!), I went to World Market and used my $10 off $10 coupon and got a few things, and envied A LOT of things and also went to Kohls to use a store credit I had and a few other errands added in.

So anyway...Deep in thought. I prayed for new dreams in my heart, and I was specific that they be attainable! While I was envying everything at World Market, I felt like God highlighted the song Girl on Fire by Alicia Keys. To be a girl on fire, with flames in my eyes...as soon as I got in the car, that song came on! Crazy little things!

So as I walk along, with a lonely feeling in my heart as I work towards my dreams and being a better me, I will keep the flame alive.

Happy Birthday to me.
